Part-2 I-65 Widening Venture By way of Robertson County To Start
ROBERTSON COUNTY TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn Information) – The long-awaited second part of Interstate 65 between Nashville and the Kentucky state line is ready to start this 12 months, in line with the Tennessee Division of Transportation’s web site.
Enhancements for Interstate 65, from Nashville to the Kentucky state line, embody widening for roughly 25.8 miles in Davidson, Robertson, and Sumner Counties.

Domestically, it’s a connection between Nashville and Louisville, KY, serving the smaller cities of Goodlettsville, Millersville, White Home, and Portland, in addition to Hendersonville and Gallatin (through SR 386 / Vietnam Veterans Parkway) in Tennessee.
Between Nashville and the Kentucky state line, the present route is primarily two lanes in every path. This part of the interstate at present experiences excessive visitors volumes, which create peak hour congestion and poor visitors operations, leading to delays and crashes alongside the hall.

Two northbound truck climbing lanes might be constructed – one between mile markers 99 and 100 and one other between mile markers 102 and 104.
An auxiliary lane can even be added in every path between the interchanges of Rivergate Parkway (Exit 96) and SR 174 (Lengthy Hole Pike, Exit 97) to accommodate visitors exiting and coming into the roadway.
Because of the important size of the hall, the I-65 enhancements have been separated into smaller sections or phases as famous beneath.
